I find that this has nothing to do with Xing Yi. It's just a matter of Chinese culture. Social harmony matters more than 'realism' in either martial arts or relationships. They don't look at the matter the same as you do. Face is more important to them than other things.
But given this particular example - would any Western teacher admit he is not good on national TV and then follow by allowing younger men of a different martial art to teach him how to get better? Since I don't see this happening with any other teacher in any other country, it might just be that you're expecting too much of them... =\
